@Gon: i like brainstorming. I like to ponder over problems and think of multiple solutions. This brings forth some weird or even plain bad ones... but i still enjoyed the process and i liked sharing this one.

What i don't like is pitty namecalling that gets us nowhere. And with that we can close this topic. Thank you guys for participating.

I think only players of equal beginner protection should be able to battle each other with it on. Though I'm aware that this changes it from "protection" to "matching me with similarly leveled people and both having less restrictions," it feels like that free-revive is too much of an edge that can be used to more easily smite down top rankers, more directly through alts, more dangerously in the hands of a more-than-decent player.

Which I will unnecessarily add that I'm 40% fond of the current Top 5. Well, JJ is quite cool, so 48%. But icy is decent, and I don't have anything against freezybling, so 48.53%, maybe? There, I'm almost half-happy about the current Top 5, so may virginity belters only fight other virginity belters.
